School closure work

Video message from Mrs Etchells 12.5.20

Our class email is now set up! If you would like to message me (parents/carers or children) with any questions, to let me know how you're getting on, send me any pictures of what you're doing or just say hello, the address is

class4@parklands.derbyshire.sch.uk

I look forward to hearing from you!

Derbyshire County Council have just produced the leaflet below to help explain Corona Virus and the current situation to young children. Please feel free to use it with your children.

Please find below some home learning links that have been produced for parents. Please pick and choose activities from this for your child to do whilst remembering that this is a great opportunity for you to teach your child to bake, garden and learn through play.

These activities and links are ongoing to be done at any time. However Year 1 teachers will be adding more specific content every Monday morning. This will match what the children would have been learning through the school curriculum to ensure they have the best opportunity possible to be ready for Year 2.

We will update these resources whenever new resources are made available.

It’s competition time!!

We have been asked if anybody would like to enter this competition by the local dog warden!

'We are in the early stages of creating our new community based initiative The Greener Paws Scheme. The Greener Paws Scheme is a community based initiative where responsible dog owners take a pledge to help tackle the problem of dog fouling, and to re-inforce responsible dog ownership. The scheme looks for recruitment of those dog owners that do pick up after their dog, not those who do not. The idea of the scheme is to highlight the issue of dog fouling but in a positive manner, by volunteers being visible whilst walking their dogs, this may discourage irresponsible dog owners to leave their dog fouling, and to also encourage them to approach volunteers for a poo bag and know they will not be judged.

Our current competition is for the public to assist in creating our logo. We have had 5 different dogs drawn up, and are asking people to print these off, colour them in, and then send back toOlivia.ball@erewash.gov.ukfor the winner to be announced on Tuesday 16th June 2020 at 12:00pm.
